Thanks for all who have read. Here's Chapter Four! :)

“I give you great power but you return to me without a victory,” Dai Shi said with anger in his voice as he stared at the Mantis. “I can take your power as easily as I gave it.”

“Yes,” Camille said with a smile on her face as she turned to Dai Shi. “Take it! Destroy the icky Mantis.”

“Silence,” Dai Shi ordered causing Camille to jump a little. “Camille, go into the city with the Rinshi. Perhaps together, you can manage to succeed.”

Camille quickly got to her feet and spoke. “I will not fail you,” the moment she said this green armor appeared on her and Dai Shi gave an evil laugh.

Casey, Sophie, Lily, Theo, and RJ arrived back at Jungle Karma Pizza talking excitedly about the battle. “Where was everyone,” the young woman with brown hair and glasses asked. “The door was open and people were waiting and so I ended up taking orders and making pizzas and stuff. And I took money and I put it in the register,” the woman started to say in a fast voice but RJ stopped her.

“Remember to breath Fran,” RJ said with a chuckle. “Uh Fran this is Theo, Lily, Sophie, and Casey.”

“Hey,” Casey and Sophie said together.

“Hi,” Lily said with a smile on her face as she waved.

“Hey Fran,” Theo said.

“Fran is our best customer she's here everyday,” RJ explained.

“Oh well it's not like I have nothing else to do,” Fran tried defending herself. “I do its just...I love pizza. All the toppings and the smell and the taste. I like spaghetti as well you know the sauce and the meatballs and the,” Fran started to say quickly again but RJ stopped her.

“Uh breath Fran,” RJ reminded. “We'll see ya tomorrow.”

“Yeah,” Fran said as she grabbed her jacket. “Bye.”

“Bye,” RJ said as he watched her leave the pizza parlor. Once she was gone he led the students into the kitchen. “Follow me,” RJ told them. The four followed him up the stairs and to his large loft.

“Whoa,” Sophie said with shock on her face.

“Look at the size of this place,” Theo added.

“Wow,” Casey said with excitement in his voice as he grabbed a basketball and started dribbling it. “This place is great.”

“Check it out,” Lily said with a laugh as she walked over to the jukebox and turned it on. Sophie chuckled as she started dancing across the floor to the music.

“Nice throw Casey,” Sophie said as she watched Casey make a basket.

“Thanks,” Casey said with a smile on his face.

“It's nice,” Theo said as he ran a finger across a surface. “But it needs a cleaning.”

“Hey thanks for volunteering Theo,” RJ said with a smile on his face as he walked down the stairs.

Sophie laughed and she patted Theo on the back. “That's what you get for being such a clean freak.”

“Ha ha,” Theo said.

“Mi casa es su casa,” RJ told the four. “This is where you'll be living, training, playing, and working. Everything is yours.”

“Cool I think I can get used to this place,” Sophie said as she went to sit in a green armchair but RJ stopped her.

“Except, that chair,” RJ said as he walked over to her. “My chair, it's mine, it's off limits, got it?”

“Sorry RJ,” Sophie apologized as she stepped away from the chair with her hands raised.

“Ah don't apologize my friend,” RJ said as he gave her a one armed hug. “You didn't know but now you do. Okay, next order of business is to get you out of those pajamas.”

“Hey new training gear. Got to love that,” Casey said as RJ handed him a bright red jacket and black pants.

“Pink huh,” Sophie said as she took the training gear from RJ. It consisted of a bright pink jacket, black pants, and a black skirt with pink strips on it. “Not really my color but it's better than these.”

“Really, I think you'd look good in pink,” Casey said causing her to blush a little.

“Thanks,” Sophie said.

“Sure it would match the color of her face,” Theo joked as he took his blue training gear from RJ. His gear was exactly the same as Casey's except his jacket was blue.

“Ha ha very funny,” Sophie said with sarcasm in her voice.

“Look at all those TVs,” Lily said as she took her yellow training gear from RJ. Her gear was the same as Sophie's except that it was yellow instead of pink. “I haven't watched TV in years.”

“TVs,” RJ asked as he turned to the numerous television sets in the loft. He then walked over to them. “No these are much much more. Its a state of the art city wide monitoring system. Plus 1,253 cable channels. Pretty sweet huh?”

“Looks like our friends are up to no good again,” Theo said as an army of Rinshi appeared on one of the monitors. “Let's get them.”

Casey, Sophie, and Lily nodded and they went to follow Theo out but stopped when they noticed that RJ wasn't following them.

“RJ aren't you coming,” Sophie asked.

“Me, no no I have pizza store to run,” RJ told them. “Fighting evil is your job. But I did notice that you were a little overpowered last time so I got a gift for you to even out the odds.”

“Sunglasses,” Lily asked when she saw RJ open a drawer containing four pairs of them.

“They're not just sunglasses,” RJ told them. “They're solar morphers. Did you ever hear of the power rangers?”

“Definitely,” Sophie said.

“Yeah who hasn't,” Casey added.

“Well guess what...you be them,” RJ said with a smile on his face.

“No way,” Theo said with excitement on his face. “Ever since I was a little kid I always wanted to be a,” Theo started to say but stopped when he saw a smile appear on everyone's faces. “If that's what it takes.”

“The power rangers aren't part of the order of the claw but I figured we needed everything we could get to fight the Dai Shi,” RJ explained. “So I knew this guy who knew this other guy who had an uncle who had a connection...anyway, he tapped into the morphing grid and voila,” RJ said as he picked up the blue sunglasses. “You're morphers,” he then started handing them to the students. “Once you activate them, all the knowledge that comes with them will be instantaneously entered into your cellular makeup. Pretty gnarly huh? Now, go out there and beat down evil. And now you look good doing it.”

Casey, Sophie, Lily, and Theo nodded and they rushed out of the loft.

“Go Rinshi,” Camille ordered as she and the Rinshi destroyed everything in their path. “Feed on the fear of the people. Huh,” Camille said as she saw Casey, Sophie, Lily, and Theo running towards her. “Look humans.”

“I don't know about you guys, but I think it's time to show them what we've got,” Theo said.

“Let's do it,” Lily said as she and Theo stepped forward.

Lily put on her yellow sunglasses and Theo put on his blue ones. “Ready,” the two shouted. “Jungle beast spirit unleashed,” the moment they said this, Lily morphed into the yellow ranger and Theo morphed into the blue ranger.

“With the speed of a cheetah, jungle fury yellow ranger,” Lily shouted as she got into a fighting stance.

“With the stealth of a jaguar, jungle fury blue ranger,” Theo shouted as he got into a fighting stance.

“Attack,” Camille ordered the Rinshi.

“Oh wow that's awesome,” Casey said. “You ready Sophie?”

“Oh yeah,” Sophie said. “Let's kick some butt.”

Casey put on his red sunglasses and Sophie put on her pink sunglasses. “Spirit unleashed,” the two shouted. A look of shock appeared on their faces when nothing happened.

“Why isn't it working,” Casey asked.

“I don't know,” Sophie said.

Meanwhile, Lily and Theo were fighting the Rinshi. Lily threw punches and kicks at them and took one out with each attack. “This is awesome,” Lily said with a laugh as she sent a heavy kick to a Rinshi's gut making it fly backwards. “Call to the beast inside bring out the cheetah,” Lily shouted. The moment she said this, a yellow aura formed around her body and her cheetah spirit shot out at the Rinshi. Her animal spirit destroyed them within seconds.

One of the Rinshi sent a blow to Theo's head but he ducked just in time. He then spun his foot underneath the Rinshi's feet making it fall to the ground. Another Rinshi tried to punch him it the gut but he grabbed its arm and he flipped it over onto its back. “Call to the beast inside unleash the jaguar,” Theo shouted. The moment he said this a blue aura formed around his body and his jaguar spirit shot out at the Rinshi destroying them in seconds.

Just then Casey and Sophie heard a woman screaming in fear. They spun around and saw Fran trying to escape from the Mantis. “Oh no Fran,” Casey said. The two ran towards her but an army of Rinshi blocked their path.

Ooh the first cliff hanger of the story lol. I hope everyone liked that chapter. I'll try and have Chapter Five up soon. :)
